20 1/4" tabs
Self adhesive auto reverse foil is the best you can get for your tapes. It's truly conductive metallic foil similar in thickness to aluminum foil, and it's used to autoreverse open reel tapes as well as 8-track tapes and endless loop professional broadcast carts. Unlike some metallic-looking Mylar being passed off as reversing foil, this is the real thing. We suggest for 8-tracks, to ensure a good splice, use a splicing block like ours. When in doubt about the length needed to trigger your open reel deck, we suggest at least 1.25". This foil will NOT reverse non-reversing deck nor optical sensored decks for which a clear leader is needed.
This foil uses a special adhesive for excellent bonding that you won't find on other foils. Why risk ruining a tape with a cheap imitation?
